> Subject: Welcome to Fedora CoreOS
> 
> 
> Hi everyone. If you saw my talk at DevConf.cz this year
> (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCTTHoxv5c&t=890s), you’ll
> remember I discussed the Fedora / Red Hat relationship, and
> specifically how Fedora has historically worked with new
> technologies that come our way through acquisitions made by our
> primary sponsor.
> 
> Little did I know, but at that very moment, something huge was in
> the works, and when my plane landed back in Boston my phone blew up
> with messages about CoreOS joining Red Hat.
> 
> That’s obviously gigantic news, directly relevant to Fedora, since
> we are the project Red Hat depends on for operating-system level
> integration and innovation. Now, most of the news is about
> Kubernetes, OpenShift, Tectonic, and Quay — but there’s also
> Container Linux (the operating system formerly known just as
> “CoreOS”). At Red Hat Summit, the company announced and clarified a
> bunch of things around product and corporate plans. Now, it’s time
> for us to figure out how we can welcome and include the Container
> Linux community in the circle of Fedora Friends.
> 
> 
> What does this mean for Fedora Atomic Host and other deliverables?
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
> 
> This isn’t the place for technical details — see “what next?” at
> the bottom of this message for more. I expect that over the next
> year or so, Fedora Atomic Host will be replaced by a new thing
> combining the best from Container Linux and Project Atomic. This
> new thing will be “Fedora CoreOS” and serve as the upstream to Red
> Hat CoreOS.
> 
> 
> What does this mean for the Fedora community?
> ---------------------------------------------
>   
> Good things! Container Linux is exciting, innovative, and has a
> passionate user and developer community. The people who built it
> are awesome and well-aligned with the Fedora community foundations.
> 
> The “Fedora Editions” strategy intentionally makes space for
> exploring emerging areas in operating system distributions. CoreOS
> will help us push that even further and bring new ways of doing
> things to the project as a whole.
> 
> 
> What does this mean for Container Linux users?
> ----------------------------------------------
> 
> More good things! I know this is kind of scary. Fedora CoreOS is
> going to be built from Fedora content rather than in the way it’s
> made now. It won’t necessarily be made in the same way we make
> Fedora OS deliverables today, though. No matter what, we absolutely
> want the CoreOS user experience of “container cluster host OS that
> keeps itself up-to-date and you just don’t worry about it”. Again,
> technical details are a discussion for elsewhere, but the goal is
> for existing Container Linux users to be as happy as — or happier
> than! — you are with the OS today.
> 
> And here’s the super-important thing: Fedora really is a
> community-driven project, and this means that you can get involved
> and directly influence how the future Fedora CoreOS works to meet
> your needs. If you’re interested and need help getting involved,
> don’t hesitate to talk to me, to the Join Fedora team, or to the
> developers and community people already working on the project.
> 
> 
> Hey, so… “Fedora Core”!
> -----------------------
> 
> Everything’s a circle, right? But, this has nothing to do with the
> Red Hat vs. external split that was Fedora Core and Extras back in
> the day. We absolutely do not want to regress to that kind of
> community divide. “Core” just happens to be a pretty catchy name
> component for an OS that fits the “small, focused base” concept.
> This concept is powerful and useful for today’s information
> technology and computing world, and we want to give it proper focus
> in Fedora.
> 
> 
> Okay, so, what next?
> --------------------
>   
> Visit the new website at https://coreos.fedoraproject.org/.
> The project is just getting started, so there's not much there yet,
> but we have an initial FAQ.
> 
> If you have questions that aren't answered, or just want to get
> involved, join in discussion on the new Discourse board
> https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/coreos, sign up for the the
> development mailing list at
> https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/coreos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/,
> and chat on Freenode IRC in #fedora-coreos.
